Me and my family are going out to dinner tonight before a concert (we got free tickets, wOOt!) and we can't decide where to go. Near the stadium, there is a Noodles and Co., Mo's Irish Pub (local place), and a Qdoba.

Here's what I would order at each place

Noodles: Pasta Fresca - "Roma Tomatoes, red onions, spinach, vegetable broth, balsamic vinegarette, parsely, white wine, and feta cheese over whole wheat pasta." And, I'd get the salad with the fat-free Asian dressing.

Moe's: Veggie Burger - "In-house made burger crafted from black beans, brown rice, and mixed veggies." I'd get it without the bun and with steamed veggies and a fruit cup.

Qdoba: Naked Burrito Bowl - With black beans, guacamole, fajita veggies, lettuce, and mango salsa. No tortillas.

Which sounds best to you? All are around 450 or 500 calories, but I'm not sure about the Moe's burger - they don't list nutrition info, but as long as they're not frying the thing, it doesn't sound too bad.

That naked burrito bowl sounds pretty darn good.  Yummm, guacamole!

I think the most filling and tasty would be the pasta with the side salad. :) Sounds delicious!

O_O! I just can't decide - everything sounds good! I'll probobly skip Moe's tonight though... they are quite busy on weekends, and we need someplace that won't leave us waiting for hours and hours.

I'm highly considering Noodles. Although I had pasta yesterday... but whole-grain isin't so bad really, is it? I mean, at least I'm not choosing one with cream sauce.

i'd go for the pasta, bec the fresh basil that's in it is something i never buy myself.  i love simple, fresh sauces like that and never make them.  veggie burgers tend not to excite me (i can find plenty in the frozen aisle of the grocery store), and the naked burrito bowl sounds like something i could throw together in 5 minutes (except for the mango salsa, which i'm not a fan of).  hope you have a great time, though.  score on the free tickets!

I am sure you already went, but Noodles is quite possibly my favorite restaurant EVER. I have tried almost everything there. I used to get the Macaroni and Cheese, although I won't touch it now. My favorite thing to get it the Chinese chop salad with dressing on the side and no wontons, and a side of the tofu. Or the pastas are good- especially because you can substitute whole-grain linguine in any of them!

I would say Noodles as well.  That just sounds really good.  And I might be a biased opinion because I find Qdoba absolutely nauseating.

id go w/ the pasta :P   whole wheat pasta is actually pretty yummy and ya cant beat the veggies! have fun!!
